This collection of poetry was very different. It's intended audience level is K-3, but I believe these poems are a bit mature for readers of that age. Even the illustrations are dark and mature. I personally would not read this book to my classroom. ( )

My favorite poetry book so far. I got really into this poem. I'm really into the marine life and such, so I really enjoyed this. I also love poetry and I thought the whole concept of the book was interesting. I would not teach this to kids under 4th grade because it's a lot to take in and understand. I would assign this book to my class to do a poetry analysis to see if they could see what it was really about. ( )
